BTW, while researching creating green noise I came across a website for a Mac and iOS app: https://simplynoise.com/ In addition to noise colors, t also has beach sounds, fireplaces, babbling brooks, etc. Fun little app. > On Mar 3, 2026, at 5:56 PM, Thomas Hudson via Synth-diy <synth-diy@synth-diy.org> wrote: > > Interesting idea and article. > >> On Mar 3, 2026, at 4:58 PM, Mike Beauchamp <list@mikebeauchamp.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Thomas, >> Maybe take all of the different noises, and feed them into an interpolating scanner circuit (like this one: https://till.com/articles/scanner/ ) and from there you could control the output noise colour (and anything inbetween) with the wandering CV. >> >> I wonder if the different noise colours all need to be derived from a single source for the crossfading to work. >> >> Mike >> >> >> On 2026-03-02 18:20, Thomas Hudson via Synth-diy wrote: >>> I have an analog module that can generate blue, white, pink, and red (brownian) noise.
